Lisa was a stay-at-home mom and going through a divorce. Her only computer skill was Microsoft Word from her pre-child career as a magazine editor. A friend told her about PT, which Lisa calls, “The perfect program, everything I needed!” She went from thinking, “Who was ever going to hire me?” to “Wait, I do have so many skills to offer.” She vigilantly practiced her new computer skills and reinvented herself. PT taught her how to weave her life experiences into a formatted résumé, deliver a confident elevator pitch, search for jobs on-line and interview. Lisa saw an exciting job on Indeed.com, applied, and got a call that same day! She has been with this company for 4 years as an Administrative Assistant and is now interviewing for the next level, Executive Assistant. Full circle: Lisa now sends us job opportunities in her company to pass along to current PT students.
